Editorial report

Motorola Moto G30 technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G30 suits buyers looking for a large, smooth-scrolling display and a high-capacity battery; the trade-off is pixel density that is lower than most phones of its time. Its 6.5-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz, a typical refresh rate, while its 269 ppi is below most contemporaries. The 20:9 panel has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px.

The camera's 64.4 MP resolution and f/1.7 aperture are among the best specifications of their time. An 8 MP ultrawide camera joins 2 MP macro and depth cameras. The main camera records video at 1080p at 60 fps, but has no optical image stabilization. The 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time; 20 W charging is typical.

This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage. The Moto G30 is also sold in 4 GB / 64 GB and 6 GB / 128 GB configurations. It includes a Snapdragon 662, eMMC 5.1 storage, NFC, USB-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and dual SIM. Android 11 rounds out performance and an overall standing that are typical of phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 4.7, it is a reasonable fit for buyers who prioritize battery capacity and camera resolution and can accept a less sharp display.
